The Project

The XML Security project is aimed at providing implementation of security standards for XML. Currently the focus is on the W3C standards :

Once these are implemented, XML Key Management is likely to be the next focus for the project.

Two libraries are currently available.

  2. A C++ library is also now available. Functionality is currently more basic than that provided by the Java library.
